Today my beautiful grand-daughter Ruby Jane Soutas was born.
Alex was induced due to toxemia like I had with Jordan. So maybe because the birth story was so familiar and then holding a new baby in your arms, she feels just like she is mine.
I hold her and I feel like I could just be holding one of my babies. So it is true that you love your
grand children as your own, yet you don't have quite the responsibility for them and that makes it
extra fun.
Ruby Jane was 6 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long (same as me)
She was born in Provo at the Utah Valley Regional Med Center. Alex allowed me and her mom and sister to be in the delivery room with her and Jordan and it was a great experience!
Things did get a little tense at the end because she was not progressing. I could see the worried exchanges between the Doctor and the nurse and heard the word "NICU". I immediately sat down and started praying that this baby could come quickly without complications. My prayer was soon answered and Ruby Jane was born.
The Doctors were a little worried about her lungs and continually checked her breathing since she was 3 weeks early. Thankfully, she stayed healthy and was able to stay with Mom and Dad.
